Do you want to contribute to Bitcoin open-source projects, but you're not sure where to start?

The BOSS (Bitcoin Open Source Software) pathway is a 3-month immersive program that helps developers make real contributions to Bitcoin projects. 🚀

It’s not just a learning program. It’s a launchpad into the world of open-source Bitcoin development.

This pathway includes:

✅ Deep technical learning. You get to work on real Bitcoin open-source challenges.

✅ Mentorship from Bitcoin developers. Get professional feedback and guidance.

✅ Exposure to real-world Bitcoin development workflows.

✅ A structured approach to making meaningful contributions to Bitcoin Core & related projects.

This program is rigorous and hands-on. It’s designed for developers with programming experience, but there are no strict prerequisites, just a passion for Bitcoin and a willingness to learn.

The 2025 BOSS cohort is already in session, and applications for the next intake will open in late 2025 for the 2026 cohort. If you’re serious about getting involved in Bitcoin open-source development, this is your chance to make an impact.

Who Should Apply?

🔹 Developers with at least one year of programming experience.

🔹 Anyone excited about a challenge and ready to work on real Bitcoin projects.

🔹 Those willing to dedicate at least 10+ hours per week to deep technical learning.

This isn’t a beginner’s program, but if you’re ready to take your skills to the next level, BOSS will get you there.
